That website is just an auto-generated snapshot from a system I use on my phone.

The way I use it on my part is that it prompts me at various intervals to do one of 2 things:

  • evaluate my track record regarding a given trigger,

  • predict situations in which it might be relevant in the future and plan what I'll do then.

And yes, at least the way I use this, it is great at making me internalize things.

It is so great in fact, that I can't tell anyone about it, because they would laugh at me.

This includes you of course.

Let me just mention that most things I add to this system actually become fully, subconsciously internalized the moment I add them to the system.

Like in, before the system prompts me about it even once.

If you don't believe me, well, I wouldn't believe myself either.

The only other report of this happening to other people from LW-sphere I've seen is here: http://agentyduck.blogspot.jp/2014/02/lobs-theorem-cured-my-social-anxiety.html

The difference is, I'm doing it with hundreds of things and it predictably works instantly in around 80% of cases.

Thank you, SquirrellinHell, for sharing your mind. I'm enjoying browsing through the triiger-action plans and trying them on :)
